And introduced new problems. Like the stuff tastes like shit. And
it corroded a lot of plumbing and had to be shut off until that
problem was solved. Now the CAP water is pumped into the ground
to recharge the aquifer and our water is a blend extracted from
the ground.

I have, in the past, loved the USA and still admire and like most (!) of
its people. And I have travelled extensively there. Most of the
unpleasant Americans who never leave their own borders feel free to
pontificate on how dreadful foreign countries are.

It was very boring for us.

We hardly move in those circles. We are so sorry we cannot see our
relatives any more unless they come here.

If you had had all the rain we have had here in the month of May, you
would not wish for it.

Sorry: I meant "most" Americans. But few come up north to the Ribble
Valley, where (in spite of the weather) the Queen is said to dream of
retiring to.

So German inflation of 0.1% with no indication that it'll go up is a
good thing?

I certainly do not wish the Euroland economies to become any more of a
basket case than they are now, why would I? That's ridiculous.

It is a pleasure to have you on SCT. Your poise and character must only be

Yes. The ideal long-term evolution of prices is no change at all, i.e., 0%.
I've never understood how economists get the idea that inflation is good.
Just because it is virtually ubiquitous in human societies doesn't make it
good.

They aren't that bad off, since they are not spending billions a day on
military adventures while cutting taxes to the rich and deepening their
worldwide debt.
